For a living I climb towers, and for my sanity I run. Running is a way for me to not only express myself, but a way to better myself. It is a way for me to set goals, and more importantly, achieve them. Running presents avenues to continually improve quality of life. Sometimes when I’m stressed I’ll go for a run, and about the time my feet hit the pavement, things seem a little better. Since becoming a runner in 2007, the rest of my life seems simpler (better). My stress levels have been dramatically reduced, and my overall approach to life has improved.

BOISERunWalk provides a great opportunity for any person looking to better themselves, and I feel privileged to be involved. Their knowledgeable staff and well established program pave the way for improvement. Saturdays don’t seem to come soon enough, as I look forward to spending them with BRW all week long. I have met and continue to meet great people, and I have also gained and continue to gain considerable knowledge (all the while shaving time). With the continued support and direction of BOISERunWalk, I am looking forward to setting personal records for a long time to come!

“It matters not how strait the gait,
How charged with the punishment the scroll,
I am the Master of my Fate;
I am the Captain of my Soul”
